Psalms 58
1 For the leader. Al tashheth. Of David. A michtam. Do you speak what is right, you gods? With equity judge you your people?
KE olelo nei auei oukou i ka pono, e ke anaina? Ke hooponopono pololei anei oukou, e na keiki a kanaka?
2 In the land you practise iniquity – all of you; violence do you dispense with your hands.
Ua hana io nae oukou i ka hewa maloko o ko oukou naau: Ke kaupaona nei hoi oukou i ka lawe wale ana o ko oukou mau lima ma ka honua.
3 The wicked go astray from the womb liars take the wrong path from their birth.
Ua aea wale ka poe hewa mai ka opu mai; Ua auwana lakou mai ka hanau ana, e olelo wahahee ana.
4 Venom have they like the venom of snakes, they are like the deaf adder that stops her ears,
O ko lakou aa make, ua like ia me ka awaawa make o ka nahesa; Ua like lakou me ka moopetena kuli i papani i kona pepeiao;
5 and refuses to listen to the voice of the charmer, or binder of spells, no matter how cunning.
Ka mea e lohe ole no i ka leo o ka poe hoowalewale, E hoowale wale ana me ke akamai loa.
6 O God, break to pieces the teeth in their mouth, tear out the great teeth of the young lions, Lord.
E uhai ae i ko lakou mau niho, e ke Akua, iloko o ko lakou waha; E uhai oe i na niho o na liona opiopio, e Iehova.
7 May they melt away like running water! Like tender grass, cut down may they be!
E hehee lakou, me he mau wai la e kahe mau ana, Aia lena oia no kana mau pua, E lilo lakou me he mau mea la i okiokiia.
8 Like the snail that dissolves on its crawling path, like the birth untimely which sees not the sunlight.
Me he pupu la e hehee ana, e hele e aku lakou a pau; Me he mea hanau e la ka wahine, e ike ole lakou i ka la.
9 Faster than a thorn-fire heats your pots, he will come with his tempest and sweep them away.
Mamua o ka wela ana o ka oukou mau ipuhao i ke kakalaioa, E lawe aku oia ia lakou me ka ino makani, I ko lakou ola ana, a i kona huhu.
10 The sight of such vengeance will gladden the righteous; their feet they will wash in the blood of the wicked.
E hauoli ka mea pono i kona ike ana i ka hoopai ana; E holoi oia i kona mau kapuwai i ke koko o ka mea hewa.
11 People will say, ‘Yes, the just are rewarded: yes, on the earth is a God who is Judge.’
Pela, e olelo ke kanaka, Oiaio, he uku no hoi no ka mea pono: Oiaio hoi, he Akua no e hoopai ana ma ka honua.
